# Change a member's role or remove them

The Owner can change what a team member can do by switching their role, or take them off the team. Managers and Hosts can also leave a business themselves.

## Steps to change a member's role

1. Go to **Team and settings** in the sidebar.
2. Under **Business members**, select the role button next to the person, like **Host**.
3. Choose **Manager** or **Host**.

The change saves straight away, and TicketPa shows "Member role updated." It applies the next time they open a page. See [Team roles and permissions](https://ticketpa.com/help/team-roles-and-permissions) for what each role can do.

## Steps to remove a member

1. Go to **Team and settings** in the sidebar.
2. Select the cross next to the person (**Remove member**).
3. Select **Remove member** to confirm.

They lose access to your business at once. Their TicketPa account stays, with any other businesses they belong to. If they ran activities, they stay on the **Staff** page as a person without a login, so the time slots they run keep them. To bring them back, see [Invite team members](https://ticketpa.com/help/invite-team-members).

> **Note:** Nobody can change the Owner's role or remove the Owner, and the Owner role can't be handed to someone else.

## Leave a business yourself

If you're a Manager or a Host in a business, you can leave it:

1. Select your initials at the top right, then **Settings**.
2. Select **Businesses**.
3. Select **Leave business** next to the business, then **Leave business** again to confirm.

You lose access to that business. If you were working in it, TicketPa switches you to another of your businesses. To work there again, someone has to invite you.

The Owner can't leave their own business. To close it, see [Delete a business](https://ticketpa.com/help/delete-a-business).
